In five years of architectural studies, none of my teachers explained an architectural concept as meticulously as you did in your remarkable video down to the nitty-gritty. Appreciations!!!
@@KJ-pu8dw Absolutely. I learned from the projects we did almost nothing but some cliches which I don't even understand why we need to emphasize, 1 year of my education life is now gone entirely. Everything I learned relied on my own struggles to find out what the hell was going on and how the hell could I improve my project.
So many architects are terrible at talking to non-architects about their projects and their processes. The clarity and plain language you use to explain complicated things is refreshing and powerful. Thanks so much for sharing.
I think architect engage in 'junk-talk' because they have not theory of architecture that deals with its true content: people and their buildings. A person who knows their craft can easily explain it to anyone. A person who doesn't engages in 'junk-talk' to impress themselves and some peers.
I'm not an architect. Not even a student in architecture. I'm a disabled veteran and I only began studying architecture to become a better builder in certain building games (As that's what occupies most of my time nowadays). I've watched hours and hours of videos on this subject and I have to say that after finding your video I look at architecture as a whole in a completely different light. I had absolutely no idea going in that it was as deep as it is or how absolutely profound it can be. I most certainly have a newly formed respect for it in general and I don't see myself shying away from learning about it anytime soon. Thank you for this video even if I can't or won't ever use this in a professional setting it's been a revealing experience.
That’s it my friend. Architecture isnt quantum physics or metaphysics. It requires technical knowledge, design skills, artistic sensibility, creativity and a curious mind. These are all skills that any person of average intelligence can learn and apply. Good luck to you and never stop reading and learning; delve into a bit of anthropology, psychology, sociology, philosophy and history and I give you my word you’ll be designing better buildings than many people who go to architecture school and build according to learned protocols.
I’m an interior architect and have not been practicing officially for a few years but I have several projects that have popped up and the serendipity of your video in my home page suggestions was super. A really clear, succinct summary of designing has refreshed my memory on my process really, really efficiently. I am ever so grateful.
Whenever my mind is foggy and I’m overwhelmed in the midst of a project I find myself referring back to your content. Your not just a talented architect, but an amazing teacher. Each of your videos are so clear and concise and not long after visiting your channel, my foggy mind soon clears. Thankyou.
I absolutely love the way you explain everything, you make more sense than my lecturers do at uni. We get thrown into the deep end and are expected to develop our own concepts, carry them out and present them when they never explained it to us in depth. You are saving my grades lmao.
You can start now. Why wait? You can start by looking at books and pictures of Architects philosophy and why they do what they do. Do urban sketching, draw buildings of wherever you are will help you a lot. Take lots of art classes will be a plus too.
Cool that u already know your proffesion. I'm 14 and I seriously don't know what my proffesion is I have a lot of things I love and couldn't choose between them! I love drawing and I also love singing (I'm better with singing and would love to sing on a big stage one day) I seriously don't know what tooo do later..I like the idea of being a doctor too.
There's this really cool software called Archicad, in which you can build houses. Honestly, after seeing alot of young kids spending hours making beautiful architectural spaces on minecraft, if they had done it on Archicad or Revit, they'll dominate the architectural field when they grow up.
i think that this is the video that was required from a long time to understand the idea of concept in architectural design. I thank you for finally making something that we all architecture student can look up to when in dilemmas. :)
I'm an architecture student and I'm so glad that I found your channel. Its the best architectural channels on UA-cam ever and you helped me a lot. Great content as always
Great content, I always enjoy hearing how other people work and their thinking process. As an architecture student this really is one of the most helpful channels out there. Keep up the great work!
One of the best videos I have watched on concept development. I wish I had seen your videos during my course of study in architecture. Loved the way how it transitioned from one stage of development to the next. Even though I graduated in architecture without understanding why a concept was necessary, this video helped me realize the necessity of a concept and the idea of summarizing all the ideas into a sheet for client discussion is brilliant. Thank you for helping people like me to understand more about this amazing field. This video cleared so many doubts I had in mind, which I thought might be made fun of if I had asked a senior since I am expected to know these basic details because I am a graduate.If possible, could you please do a video on how to analyze a building at a visual scale and transfer it to a drawing to scale.
You're quite welcome +Lakshmi Pillai, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Our educational experiences are all different and as individuals we learn in unique ways. If we both listened to the same lecture we would naturally take away different things; informed by our life experience. It's no surprise then that our relatively short time in school doesn't teach us everything we need to know about design, or architecture, or anything in too much detail. If we're lucky it equips us with new ways to see the world and the confidence to question things we don't understand. Kudos to you for recognizing that learning doesn't end at university. I'll certainly add your video request to the production queue. Cheers...!
@@30by40 The problem in architecture school is lack of a clear theory of design and a greater theory of architecture. I don't mean an 'art' theory, but as I've commented above, a theory about buildings as they are used by people. My engineering friends were taught engineering design as a system of connections, in architecture we were not taught anything except how to draw, in effect. Like teaching swimming by throwing a non-swimmer in the pool, or nuclear physics by dropping atom bombs. HIghly ineffective and practically irrelevant.
As an architecture student in Turkey and also a UA-camr which has a fame in the country. I always try to implement creativity and the importance of thinking to my audience. Unlike most of courses and presentations, I always found narrative telling exiting and more effective. I do some fun content in my UA-cam channel for views, however my first desire is to create a content that tells people "You are the most important source on the Earth, you have the organ that created all opportunities, invented electricity, made us speak worldwide or go to the moon... You are the solution for every problem.. Be aware of yourself" I loved your content on architecture, cause you made some people to fall in love with thinking and problem solving. your way of telling the story behind concept is magnificent. So, keep up what you are doing. Nice to have you on UA-cam!!
Your video really helps young architecture students that do not have a clear vision of the process to follow when talking about developing a concept. Thank you for your videos and the simplicity behind them. I know there is a lot of work behind the scenes, but i bet it pays off!
THE BEST videos. THE BEST. I'm not an architect but one could surely take the things you discuss and apply to everyday life. Thanks for providing quality thoughtful content and more personally challenging me to think freely and purposefully.
kind words...many thanks +Jarrett Curley ...I have a similar practice of observing the work habits of other disciplines to see what I can apply to my own. glad you found something of value here... cheers...

Thank you. This video has reminded me how critical the process is and, most importantly, how to develop the design concept in a manner that clients, uneducated in Architecture, can better comprehend and invest in!
I've been looking for a channel about architecture for so long, and most of the things that I've found they just don't get to the bigger picture of the design process. This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing this with us, you're helping a lot!! cheers from the Dominican Republic.
welcome to the channel...glad you found it! i'm always in the comments and working hard to make this a helpful, friendly place to ask questions...cheers...
THANK YOU for making this so simple and understanding! after 5 years of university never heard any of the professors explain the process like you just did. hoping to watch more videos from you.
Incredibly helpful video. I wish I had watched this going into first year. I'm in third year now and I feel like this is one of the most useful explanation of concepts I have come across so far!
SInce my first year as a student in architecture, I have wished for someone to explain these basics to me. And because this was missing, I stumbled through my course without completely understanding how to put my best foot forward. After working in the industry, it all became clear and now I know how concept development is an essential base for every creative pursuit. I wish I had found you earlier! Thank you so much.
Wonderful! The way you explained made a lot of sense. A must watch for any student of Architecture. Had I seen it back in Architectural school my studio assignements would have been something else completely. It is wonderful to see that what we as Architects intutively work on, you have reflected on of workflows of not only yourself but others and capsuled the entire concept in a systemic format. Lovely. I simply loved it!
Super helpful ! I am 18 and just about to head into architecture school and your videos are giving me good insight in what to expect and gives me a better understanding of what architects do.
Thank you for this insight into Architecture. Although i do not want to pursue Architecture as a career, I find it really interesting and this short course allowed me to take a peek into what processes an architect may go through to produce the beautiful buildings i often ponder about.
This is such great information! I’m a draftsman, and work with architects trying to overcome design problems on older houses. None of these older homes offer the amenities of newer homes, and it is our challenge to bring these homes up to date. I truly appreciate the time you take to explain everything in such detail. This information is very useful to me.
It is helpful! I studied architecture long time ago and started to forget it. You've helped me to refresh my mind. Not only that. You've guided me to see architecture from a fresh point of view. Evoking curiousity.
It is kind of ironic that I just found your comment. I'm a 16 year old student and I'm currently struggling to decide whether I'll study physics (specifically to do experimental physics later on) or architecture (rather thinking about doing it "the social way" and trying to work in developing countries with sustainable technologies). Now I don't really know of any professional I could ask for advice concerning this decision. If you'd mind telling me your opinion on this issue I'd really really appreciate it a lot!
If you are a client about to build a house, and need something specific rather than an off-the-shelf design, this series is a must. Understand the constraints of budget, materials, etc so you can be an informed partner in your house rather than a passive (and ultimately frustrated) bystander.
I rarely write comments but this time I just couldn't resist! The same as you I always connect the art of film making with architecture (and I am a student of architectural design).When I heard you comparing them I was truly amazed. In a sense- is it me talking right now or what?! Props for that comment!
I thank you so much! It's my second year of Architecture. Currently this the best page that I can found on UA-cam to learn more about Architecture. Keep the videos up, your page is amazing. Cheers from Pakistan! :)
I have to say, that I LOVED this video. As a student, I am trying to approach design for others for the first time and while our lectures have given us a lot of historical perspective, the emotion involved in home design is harder to capture. I think you have explained that in a tangible way, if that is possible. So much so, I'm sending the lecturer a link because I think he may want to recommend this to the class. To the 9 year old who commented below, hang onto that dream. I was 13 when I realised I wanted to design buildings. I am 51 this year and I have just started my Building Design course.
Pleased you found it helpful +Cath Wilki... The more these videos are shared the easier it is for me to keep making them. Best of luck to you in your studies...
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I've been struggling to understand what a concept is and even after 2 years of architecture school I still didn't get it. After watching this video I feel like i have a base, something which i can use as foundation to look at future projects at school or architecture in general. Thank you so much! I hope you continue to make such helpful videos
knowing you need a concept is an important precursor to design...once you accept that, you can dig in on the hard work of finding the right one... I'm redoubling my efforts on video production this year; suggestions/requests are always welcome... cheers...
Currently majoring in interior architecture, you helped me with how to come up with a concept for my first assignment. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Amazing! You seem to have covered most aspects of the process. This video is definitely one I would recommend every client of mine to watch when they begin planning for their buildings. Thank you for making this video :)
great video...you articulate the conceptual design process very well...made me realize that I myself go through all of these stages in some degree as I start a new project...it's nice to see that I'm on the right path. I love this process the most I think it feeds my soul. I think I'll stop being so hard on myself from now on as I see now that the evolution of the design is always continuously moving and changing as I get more client feed back and deal with city codes. this use to bother me and made me a little less confident of my ability to "nail it"....I realized that the end product was always better after I let go and listened to the clients concerns and requests for changes.....I love Architecture!
thanks for your honesty Ladiarch Queen ...I've come to embrace the uncertainty of the process and accept that it's an ever-evolving, personal one; there's no right or wrong. cheers...!
Hi I am a design educator. And we often struggle to explain in a simple way that how diversity & the width of ideas contribute to forming a concept. This helps a Lot!!!
such a great video to explain the word "concept" in architectural context, I have been looking for such a detailed and clear explaination for a long time. Finally, here it is! Thanks!
Loved this video - I’m a software engineer with a budding interest in architecture. I love how this video goes through a great intro into all the ways that architecture is both an engineering science and an art form in a detailed, easily digestible fashion. It’s so fascinating that the client relationship is very similar to that of frontend web development/UI/UX design
I am not a trained Architect but an IT professional I have abandon my IT training for architectural career. I do lots of residential designs in my country and found this video very informative I am adding it to my watch list thank you.
thank you soo sooo much we really need people like you to help us ...please never stop your great work ! i m a first year architecture student and you really inspire me , and you make me love architecture more than i do ... please keep being my teacher
This is brilliant, and a delight to watch - thank you! I've been informing myself about IT architecture in the past few weeks, and for some reason the algorithm gods thought this video was related. SW design involves thinking about things like: - the architectural precedents for systems of this type - regulatory and budget constraints - how users will need to navigate in the system, what public and private spaces need setting up - what the application landscape looks like that the system will be integrated into - what platform it will run on - how it will interact with other systems - the technology stack that will be used to build it... Turns out - the algorithm wasn't wrong. Many of the principles you presented are very much applicable to the design of software.
Also not an architect but dreaming like forever to build my own house as my father and grandfather did; for now I stick to Sketchup to give form to my ideas. Your video is on point, exactly what I wanted to see, it clearly gives the basics and the foundation into designing a house. Thanks.
You are an excellent communicator of the processes of architecture, presenting them in an orderly fashion and keeping them approachable. My manifesto is based on "The Pattern Language"
Watching as a prospective client, this helped me massively in my approach to designing and building and indeed the amount of information I still have to gather for my side of the presentation. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this content..I always found a little difficulty in forming a concept..i understood now where i was lacking after watching your video ,i was lacking in gathering proper information more related to the site and its analysis ,whereas i always start my concept based upon its site and local climatic conditions.Thank you, you solved my issue
Hey I’m from Belize and I have to say your videos is very informative and inspiring to watch and it motivates me to continue my architectural studies (I’m a first year). Theres been day when I’m unmotivated to do my studies and you truly help me continue my journey in architecture . Just wanted to thank you and I’m glad that saw your videos. By the way sorry for any grammatical errors, my English is still not that great. In Belize our main language is English but our language is mix with creole and spanish😅.
Thanks for sharing, I really appreciated it. Je Suis une architecte française et vos petits croquis m'ont rappelée à quel point ils avaient leur importance dans le projet aussi simples qu'ils paraissent Merci.
Great video, great teacher. I'm an architecture student, and I learned more in these 19 mins than the 3 hour lectures in class. Will definitely rewatch this before starting on my next plate. Thanks again :)
i have been given a studio assignment to design a primary school for the staff of the university am in... this video has made me excited and enlightened. thank you
Nice overview on architecture design. Many people new to home building only use a small part of such an approach when getting into a plan to build. Further, this is why we love to emphasis the wisdom's around architectural expertise to capture more valued outcomes in designs; to consider it micro and macro environments, benefits, flow and problem solving as you mention! Thanks for sharing this.
This is a very enlightening and extremely informative video. Your thought process is very penetrating, as it should be in the noble profession you practice. My mother used to say: "You get the impression that most architects would NEVER live in the houses most of them design". However, I think you're one of the Chosen. Your clients are lucky people. Thank you for sharing this inspiring video. My respects to you Sir.
30X40 Design Workshop Well deserved. The world needs more people like you. Clear in thought. A thoroughly well-balanced person. I gather you teach. Your students are very lucky. All the best from Paris.
As an architect with 50 years of experience designing a wide range of building types this is the best presentation of concept and how it informs design that I have ever come across. I would live to see how he deals with a tight urban space which both more problems (constraints) , and more opportunities for the concept to draw from its context.
How i wish for videos like this since the beginning of architectural studio when i first started doing projects.. thank you for making this helpful videos, im sure it will help archi beginners
Amazing video! I'm an architect from Brazil and i use to listen to some business/passive income podcasts and i remember a few shows where you were the guest but i never explored your work. Amazing work by the way! planning to start a channel discussing the design process and its stages in portuguese and watching your video was such an inspiration !
First video watched,will sub.I'm not an architectural student,but have an interest in and you have gotten me to understand concept with ease.Thank you.
Good evening! Im an aspiring architect who loves these videos. Im so blessed I hve access to videos like these to help me choose and guide me to my job. :)
I'm not an architect, but I'm finding that your videos are inspiring me to rethink and re-engage with my design practices. I'm a graphic designer who's gotten a bit burned-out and you make me want to pick up a pencil and pen and think more physically as opposed to ideating directly into digital forms. Thanks.
Cheers my friend, glad you're enjoying the videos. I think we're seeing a return to the physical - a renaissance of handcrafts - because the tactile senses encode learning and stimulate creativity in a way that digital manipulation can't. Thanks for you comment and for watching...all the best...
Really cleverly written and illustrated, good job. I have made interviews with many great and famous architects and many of them lack a good deal of expressing themselves verbally, but your way of telling the story about the process of design is wise and flawless. Congrats!
Your channel is very interesting and as a young person interested in pursuing architecture it allows me to open my mind to new ideas and boost my creativity. Don't stop doing what you're doing.
This course is literally the same as my Architecture professors, but you explain it more clearly with how calm you speak and the editing in your video helps as well.. definetely subscribed. Please keep the videos going.😁👍🏻
I am a 3rd year transfer student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and this video is very inspiring and engaging. Helped me get passed a design block at 12:30 am. 50,000 SQ ft wellness center is a new task that
Many thanks for presenting such a significant term, which is very misunderstood in architecture! I so liked the way you compared site and architecture'' The architecture shapes the site and the site shapes our architecture''
I truly admire your ways of distributing and elaborating on the various inspiration that could help develop the various concept of and architecture. I am only a 17-year-old looking and searching for right guides to help achieve my dreams on being an architectural engineer
Interesting way to begin, with design showing those with desire can create. Satisfying a thought is humanity moving positively forward, even if just a humble stepping stone. Thx man
honestly i really love your this channel. Because your're helping many peoples special me, this is my dream to be an architect and if you don mind i can take you as my boss.
Man this really helped me a lot. I am a 2nd year architecture student and I still find it hard to complete my design concepts until i saw this. Thanks a lot good sir

to me, developing a concept is like writing a thesis book. You must know every detail of your project.

Yeah of cours , but the deffrence is that an architecte have to demonstrate and argument his work for client .

cheers my friend...glad you found it helpful...
Thank you. This video has reminded me how critical the process is and, most importantly, how to develop the design concept in a manner that clients, uneducated in Architecture, can better comprehend and invest in!
if only i was found out this channel when i was freshman at school...
Same feeling today I’m a Senoir student
I've been looking for a channel about architecture for so long, and most of the things that I've found they just don't get to the bigger picture of the design process. This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing this with us, you're helping a lot!! cheers from the Dominican Republic.
welcome to the channel...glad you found it! i'm always in the comments and working hard to make this a helpful, friendly place to ask questions...cheers...
THANK YOU for making this so simple and understanding! after 5 years of university never heard any of the professors explain the process like you just did.
hoping to watch more videos from you.
kind words +Rebecca Kh...many thanks...
Incredibly helpful video. I wish I had watched this going into first year. I'm in third year now and I feel like this is one of the most useful explanation of concepts I have come across so far!
glad to help...cheers...
SInce my first year as a student in architecture, I have wished for someone to explain these basics to me. And because this was missing, I stumbled through my course without completely understanding how to put my best foot forward. After working in the industry, it all became clear and now I know how concept development is an essential base for every creative pursuit. I wish I had found you earlier! Thank you so much.
Wonderful! The way you explained made a lot of sense. A must watch for any student of Architecture. Had I seen it back in Architectural school my studio assignements would have been something else completely.
It is wonderful to see that what we as Architects intutively work on, you have reflected on of workflows of not only yourself but others and capsuled the entire concept in a systemic format. Lovely. I simply loved it!
kind words +Rick De...many thanks...!
Super helpful ! I am 18 and just about to head into architecture school and your videos are giving me good insight in what to expect and gives me a better understanding of what architects do.
glad I could help...
Thank you for this insight into Architecture. Although i do not want to pursue Architecture as a career, I find it really interesting and this short course allowed me to take a peek into what processes an architect may go through to produce the beautiful buildings i often ponder about.
This is such great information! I’m a draftsman, and work with architects trying to overcome design problems on older houses. None of these older homes offer the amenities of newer homes, and it is our challenge to bring these homes up to date. I truly appreciate the time you take to explain everything in such detail. This information is very useful to me.
Hello Sir!
It is helpful! I studied architecture long time ago and started to forget it. You've helped me to refresh my mind. Not only that. You've guided me to see architecture from a fresh point of view. Evoking curiousity.
I love the way architects think and talk. It's like poetry in motion.
I work as a Physician,I want to study Architecture. Thanks for your unique way, you really touched my dream.
cheers +Ahmed Marhoumy
It is kind of ironic that I just found your comment. I'm a 16 year old student and I'm currently struggling to decide whether I'll study physics (specifically to do experimental physics later on) or architecture (rather thinking about doing it "the social way" and trying to work in developing countries with sustainable technologies).
Now I don't really know of any professional I could ask for advice concerning this decision. If you'd mind telling me your opinion on this issue I'd really really appreciate it a lot!
If you are a client about to build a house, and need something specific rather than an off-the-shelf design, this series is a must. Understand the constraints of budget, materials, etc so you can be an informed partner in your house rather than a passive (and ultimately frustrated) bystander.
I rarely write comments but this time I just couldn't resist! The same as you I always connect the art of film making with architecture (and I am a student of architectural design).When I heard you comparing them I was truly amazed. In a sense- is it me talking right now or what?! Props for that comment!
I thank you so much! It's my second year of Architecture. Currently this the best page that I can found on UA-cam to learn more about Architecture. Keep the videos up, your page is amazing. Cheers from Pakistan! :)
kind words +Ahsan Siddiqui ...so glad to have you (virtually) join the community here...
Thank you for this amazing work i studied for 4 years and no one give me a simple yet very useful informations
As a 14 year old boy, I find this really helpful. Architecture has been my I think since I was 6, so thanks for helping me, I really appreciated.
Keep working on your dreams, you’re already on the right path learning what you love. It’s admirable.
These are the answers that I've been searching for these past three years. Thank you so much!
you're quite welcome...!
I have to say, that I LOVED this video. As a student, I am trying to approach design for others for the first time and while our lectures have given us a lot of historical perspective, the emotion involved in home design is harder to capture. I think you have explained that in a tangible way, if that is possible. So much so, I'm sending the lecturer a link because I think he may want to recommend this to the class.
To the 9 year old who commented below, hang onto that dream. I was 13 when I realised I wanted to design buildings. I am 51 this year and I have just started my Building Design course.
Pleased you found it helpful +Cath Wilki...
The more these videos are shared the easier it is for me to keep making them.
Best of luck to you in your studies...
Thank you so much, I'm a designer without an academic background, learning a lot from you!
Good morning!
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I've been struggling to understand what a concept is and even after 2 years of architecture school I still didn't get it. After watching this video I feel like i have a base, something which i can use as foundation to look at future projects at school or architecture in general. Thank you so much! I hope you continue to make such helpful videos
knowing you need a concept is an important precursor to design...once you accept that, you can dig in on the hard work of finding the right one...
I'm redoubling my efforts on video production this year; suggestions/requests are always welcome...
cheers...
Currently majoring in interior architecture, you helped me with how to come up with a concept for my first assignment. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Amazing! You seem to have covered most aspects of the process. This video is definitely one I would recommend every client of mine to watch when they begin planning for their buildings.
Thank you for making this video :)
+Chetna Balla you're welcome!
great video...you articulate the conceptual design process very well...made me realize that I myself go through all of these stages in some degree as I start a new project...it's nice to see that I'm on the right path. I love this process the most I think it feeds my soul. I think I'll stop being so hard on myself from now on as I see now that the evolution of the design is always continuously moving and changing as I get more client feed back and deal with city codes. this use to bother me and made me a little less confident of my ability to "nail it"....I realized that the end product was always better after I let go and listened to the clients concerns and requests for changes.....I love Architecture!
thanks for your honesty Ladiarch Queen ...I've come to embrace the uncertainty of the process and accept that it's an ever-evolving, personal one; there's no right or wrong. cheers...!
Hi I am a design educator. And we often struggle to explain in a simple way that how diversity & the width of ideas contribute to forming a concept. This helps a Lot!!!
Hi, +ameet singh ...I'm a design educator too...I just use UA-cam as a 'virtual classroom'...
Glad you enjoyed the video!
such a great video to explain the word "concept" in architectural context, I have been looking for such a detailed and clear explaination for a long time. Finally, here it is! Thanks!
Loved this video - I’m a software engineer with a budding interest in architecture. I love how this video goes through a great intro into all the ways that architecture is both an engineering science and an art form in a detailed, easily digestible fashion.
It’s so fascinating that the client relationship is very similar to that of frontend web development/UI/UX design
I have qstion In architecture what do u do first designing exterior of house or making floor plan first?
You're a dedicated architect who obviously enjoy the practice. I've been enjoying your videos
I am not a trained Architect but an IT professional I have abandon my IT training for architectural career. I do lots of residential designs in my country and found this video very informative I am adding it to my watch list thank you.
thank you soo sooo much we really need people like you to help us ...please never stop your great work ! i m a first year architecture student and you really inspire me , and you make me love architecture more than i do ... please keep being my teacher
cheers my friend...
Dude...this damn channel has just bumped off a few other channels for my top spot! Good work man its freakn cool
This is brilliant, and a delight to watch - thank you!
I've been informing myself about IT architecture in the past few weeks, and for some reason the algorithm gods thought this video was related.
SW design involves thinking about things like:
- the architectural precedents for systems of this type
- regulatory and budget constraints
- how users will need to navigate in the system, what public and private spaces need setting up
- what the application landscape looks like that the system will be integrated into
- what platform it will run on
- how it will interact with other systems
- the technology stack that will be used to build it...
Turns out - the algorithm wasn't wrong. Many of the principles you presented are very much applicable to the design of software.
I lost so much knowledge due to circumstances. I am very thankful to this channel.
Also not an architect but dreaming like forever to build my own house as my father and grandfather did; for now I stick to Sketchup to give form to my ideas.
Your video is on point, exactly what I wanted to see, it clearly gives the basics and the foundation into designing a house. Thanks.
glad to help...
This is one of thé n'est vidéos I have seen on UA-cam this far. Really helpfull. Thanks a lot
+Jackson Matakon cheers my friend!
thank you for making the best architecture videos!! I'm from Brazil and I'm SO GLAD I discovered your channel!!
You are an excellent communicator of the processes of architecture, presenting them in an orderly fashion and keeping them approachable. My manifesto is based on "The Pattern Language"
kind words, many thanks...
I am a 3rd sem Architecture student , I stumbled upon this video and man this is amazing, thank you so much
For me developing a concept comes directly from what my client interview, listening and understanding main concern
Watching as a prospective client, this helped me massively in my approach to designing and building and indeed the amount of information I still have to gather for my side of the presentation. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
wow. Passion is also enhanced by the process. Thank you, sir.
cheers my friend...
Thanks for sharing this content..I always found a little difficulty in forming a concept..i understood now where i was lacking after watching your video ,i was lacking in gathering proper information more related to the site and its analysis ,whereas i always start my concept based upon its site and local climatic conditions.Thank you, you solved my issue
+radha pradeepti glad I could help...cheers...
You teach better than my architecture teachers! Thanks for the video
Hey I’m from Belize and I have to say your videos is very informative and inspiring to watch and it motivates me to continue my architectural studies (I’m a first year). Theres been day when I’m unmotivated to do my studies and you truly help me continue my journey in architecture . Just wanted to thank you and I’m glad that saw your videos.
By the way sorry for any grammatical errors, my English is still not that great. In Belize our main language is English but our language is mix with creole and spanish😅.
Thanks for sharing, I really appreciated it. Je Suis une architecte française et vos petits croquis m'ont rappelée à quel point ils avaient leur importance dans le projet aussi simples qu'ils paraissent
Merci.
I'm shocked with the way we was oriented to create a concept Design in Arquiteture, in comper to this simple way! Thanks Eric.
Great video, great teacher. I'm an architecture student, and I learned more in these 19 mins than the 3 hour lectures in class. Will definitely rewatch this before starting on my next plate. Thanks again :)
glad I could help...
it's slightly troubling how often I've heard that UA-cam is providing more instruction than university level classes...!
am a civil engineer ,and your concenpt really helped in desigining my works and understanding more on design concept .Thank you
One of the most beneficial courses a have ever had. Thank you!
wonderful testimonial...appreciate it!
i have been given a studio assignment to design a primary school for the staff of the university am in... this video has made me excited and enlightened. thank you
I'm a software and technology architect. but i felt very inspired watching this video. there are definitely parallels. Thanks for sharing.
Nice overview on architecture design. Many people new to home building only use a small part of such an approach when getting into a plan to build. Further, this is why we love to emphasis the wisdom's around architectural expertise to capture more valued outcomes in designs; to consider it micro and macro environments, benefits, flow and problem solving as you mention! Thanks for sharing this.
you're quite welcome...glad you enjoyed it...
This is a very enlightening and extremely informative video. Your thought process is very penetrating, as it should be in the noble profession you practice. My mother used to say: "You get the impression that most architects would NEVER live in the houses most of them design". However, I think you're one of the Chosen. Your clients are lucky people. Thank you for sharing this inspiring video. My respects to you Sir.
kind words +musamor75 ...many thanks...
30X40 Design Workshop Well deserved. The world needs more people like you. Clear in thought. A thoroughly well-balanced person. I gather you teach. Your students are very lucky. All the best from Paris.
As an architect with 50 years of experience designing a wide range of building types this is the best presentation of concept and how it informs design that I have ever come across. I would live to see how he deals with a tight urban space which both more problems (constraints) , and more opportunities for the concept to draw from its context.
How i wish for videos like this since the beginning of architectural studio when i first started doing projects.. thank you for making this helpful videos, im sure it will help archi beginners
you're quite welcome, thanks for watching +Thalita Kumala
Amazing video! I'm an architect from Brazil and i use to listen to some business/passive income podcasts and i remember a few shows where you were the guest but i never explored your work. Amazing work by the way! planning to start a channel discussing the design process and its stages in portuguese and watching your video was such an inspiration !
kind words...many thanks +Rafael Fischer...good luck with the channel!
thank you so much !!!!!
you can not imagine how much you helped me in my final project
god bless you
kind words...so pleased I could help...
cheers...
First video watched,will sub.I'm not an architectural student,but have an interest in and you have gotten me to understand concept with ease.Thank you.
so great to hear +don christie ...more videos in the short course coming soon...
Good evening! Im an aspiring architect who loves these videos. Im so blessed I hve access to videos like these to help me choose and guide me to my job. :)
I'm not an architect, but I'm finding that your videos are inspiring me to rethink and re-engage with my design practices. I'm a graphic designer who's gotten a bit burned-out and you make me want to pick up a pencil and pen and think more physically as opposed to ideating directly into digital forms. Thanks.
Cheers my friend, glad you're enjoying the videos. I think we're seeing a return to the physical - a renaissance of handcrafts - because the tactile senses encode learning and stimulate creativity in a way that digital manipulation can't. Thanks for you comment and for watching...all the best...
Really cleverly written and illustrated, good job. I have made interviews with many great and famous architects and many of them lack a good deal of expressing themselves verbally, but your way of telling the story about the process of design is wise and flawless. Congrats!
kind words...many thanks...
Your channel is very interesting and as a young person interested in pursuing architecture it allows me to open my mind to new ideas and boost my creativity. Don't stop doing what you're doing.
This course is literally the same as my Architecture professors, but you explain it more clearly with how calm you speak and the editing in your video helps as well.. definetely subscribed. Please keep the videos going.😁👍🏻
Thank you so much, I am a builder, been for 5 years, and wanting to study architecture next year, love your videos!
This video was the most useful 20 minutes of my 4 years of architectural education! Thank you, glad I discovered you.😍😍
I am a 3rd year transfer student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and this video is very inspiring and engaging. Helped me get passed a design block at 12:30 am. 50,000 SQ ft wellness center is a new task that
Many thanks for presenting such a significant term, which is very misunderstood in architecture!
I so liked the way you compared site and architecture'' The architecture shapes the site and the site shapes our architecture''
i never imagined how popular this topic would be! thanks for your endorsement of its value...
Thank you for making all these videos, they are very informative and the way you presented them is very concise and easily understood.
kind words...many thanks +kuok kae lee
I truly admire your ways of distributing and elaborating on the various inspiration that could help develop the various concept of and architecture. I am only a 17-year-old looking and searching for right guides to help achieve my dreams on being an architectural engineer
cheers my friend...keep at it...!
I'm starting to consider architecture as a career path, this is helping m find out if i want to pursue it, Thank You Very Much!
excellent, welcome...you're in the right place +Max Gustafsson...
give a shout if you have any questions...
Interesting way to begin, with design showing those with desire can create. Satisfying a thought is humanity moving positively forward, even if just a humble stepping stone. Thx man
One of the best videos on the topic on the internet.
honestly i really love your this channel. Because your're helping many peoples special me, this is my dream to be an architect
and if you don mind i can take you as my boss.
Man this really helped me a lot. I am a 2nd year architecture student and I still find it hard to complete my design concepts until i saw this. Thanks a lot good sir
Before I didn't really get the meaning of a design concept but thanks to this video I understand it much better.
